I can only run on Sunday if its AM EST time. I have to leave at 1pm EST for the Airport in Charlotte. I am also up for anytime earlier on Saturday. I forget what I run here, but its a fun track that will work you to death. This is a good test and tune track as it has every element you could imagine.

What time were you thinking for the Classics if that were to happen, 10pm?

I was thinking about 12 noon here, but all sorts of conflicts are popping up now. So I think we will have to stick with Saturday. Hemps...do you think you could run Saturday if we ran earlier?

Had my first run out here at lunchtime.. just enough time for 20 minutes practice and a 2 lap qulai run. Very fun circuit and another in this game that has you pushing the limits more and more every lap finding time that you didn't know was there. 1:37.2 was my best which was good enough for 2nd position but had no time to run the race (why no save game option is beyond me!!)

One thing to note is that @Robert Waddell is once again trying to mess us about searching for the cars to run... it's in STREET Class and not Tuner I've amended the header to make that clear.. good try Mr Waddell

Foiled again.

We have a fan! I found what Peter said to be very true, although I'm not anywhere close to being that quick (time is similar, but only qualified 7th and race finish was about the same). But I did go from a 42 to a 37.2 in about an hour, so it's a fun track, and pretty easy to learn. With the damage these cars can take, and the open nature of the circuit, this should be a great one.

OK well I'll put a classics race up for 10pm Sunday and hopefully some will be able to make that, if not i'll just have some fun on my own

I agree Robert, it's a lovely track to drive and should produce some great racing

Not sure what a quick time will be but I am guessing somewhere around a 35. I can see that tuning would be really advantageous here but think it's one that will not be achieveable as no one seems to be around in the lobbies to run these cars whenever I check so the only hope is that there's maybe a challenge running them this week (there wasn't last week).

Nice one, good to see our efforts are appreciated

Hope he is able to join us at some point

I could do 12pm EST Sunday, but that is the latest. Also 12pm EST or earlier on Saturday would be good too.
I'm going to try and get some laps in today around lunch time. Sunday I was waiting for Robert to show up and used that time to Run the McLaren at Barcelona. I managed to pick up 6 seconds in 15 laps in a loaner. I also put down some laps at Mount Treblant in the Formula B averaging about 1:21's

I will try and run some laps tonight once i figure out what car to run. Will need to level it up though.

Michael Watts · Mar 24, 2015

Give me shout Railer I'll get on with you!

Hey guys....Erm....You can keep this on Saturday.

Funeral in London on Monday, leaving Sunday afternoon.

I feel a bit silly now after you agreed to change it, thanks for the gesture. This was a bit unforeseen though.

Very sorry to hear Chris. Thoughts are with you.

I'd love to Boothy, but Peter is going to run an F1 race Sunday and Michel cannot race early Sunday, so it would be too early for people in the U.K.

you mean, time/lap wise, cause I'm pretty sure its the longest configuration of that track. Reminds me a lot of Daytona Roadcourse.
Also I can run Sunday but no later than 12pm EST
